Cinema has the capacity to be so physiological.

One of the elements in the film that really fascinated me was not to look at the world in bi-polar terms of us vs them or east vs west, which was a by-product of the Cold War.

If there's specific resistance to women making movies, I just choose to ignore that as an obstacle for two reasons: I can't change my gender, and I refuse to stop making movies.

I began to exercise a lot of cinematic muscle with the precepts I had learned in the New York art world. Film was intriguing. I began to think of art as elitist; film was not.

Our film examines the heroism, courage and prowess of the Soviet submarine force in ways never seen before.

The urge to purge the material I come up with is, I guess, an ongoing process.
